Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine suited to separate the seeds from the pulp and from the skin of preferably broken grapes from which the stalks have previously been removed. The machine comprises at least a couple of counter-rotating parallel shafts (2,3), from at least one of which at least a spiral-shaped rib (6,7) projects, said rib (6,7) necessarily delimiting a groove (8,9) which is spiral-shaped too; in case the ribs (6,7) are provided on both shafts (2,3) of the shaft couple, the ribs (6,7) and grooves (8,9) on one shaft have an opposite, symmetric design of those on the other shaft. Between the surface of a shaft (included the ribs that possibly projects from it) and the opposite surface of the other shaft of the same shaft couple, an opening (P) is formed that does not allow the seeds to fall down, but lets the pulp and skin of the grapes pass. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a loose filter tip detecting machine for filter tip cigarettes. A splittable drum assembly (30) has first and second vacuum force means in respective first and second segments (60,70) thereof. The vacuum force applied through each segment communicates with either the tobacco rod (16) or filter tip (15) of a filter tip cigarette (16) held in a groove (63,72) on the splittable drum assembly. The first and second segments (60,70) of the splittable drum assembly (30) can be moved apart, whereby the vacuum force applied to either section of a filter tip cigarette pulls the filter tip away from the tobacco rod, or vice versa, thus testing whether the attachment between the two sections is loose or not. <IMAGE>

IPC: F04D7/04
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method for slurrying waste materials and drill cuttings. The apparatus includes a pump having a chamber an inlet opening into the bottom of the chamber, an impeller, an outlet on one side of the chamber for removal of material into a discharge line, and circumferentially spaced circulation ports in the chamber side. The impeller extends below the chamber and breaks up debris in addition to drawing material into the pump chamber. The pump may be rotated by a swivel connection and moved and manipulated in the tank by a crane arm, or it may be suspended by cable or other means. The pump stirs up a slurry by rotating the impeller, opening the circulation ports at least partially so that the material entering the bottom inlet to the chamber and being agitated by the impeller is forced out of the circulation ports. The pump can operate in the stirring mode until the material to be removed is generally homogenious, whereupon the circulation ports can be closed allowing the impeller to direct the slurry through the side outlet of the chamber into the discharge line. The stirring or slurrying mode can be combined with a discharge mode by opening the circulation ports as required to slurrify the material while it is pumped out the discharge line. An auxiliary discharge conduit may also be connected with the outlet to discharge material back into the tank to exchange upper fluid layers with lower layers.

Abstract: A bitumen-mineral particles composition (2) layer (1) is reinforced by at least one embedded network (3) of elongated reinforcing elements (4) connected to one another where they cross. The maximum linear dimension of at least some cross sections of the elements (4) along the length thereof is of the order of a particle size characteristic of the composition (for band-shaped elements: 15-20mm), and the orientation of said maximum linear dimension varies along the length of the elements (4). In the finished, rolled layer (1) the elements (4) have adjusted locally to the mineral particles by deformation, and the network (3) has largely retained its elasticity. Where the elements (4) cross, their respective surfaces facing one another substantially coincide, band-shaped elements are twisted, one series clockwise, the crosswise arranged series counter-clockwise. Two networks (3a, 3b) are embedded substantially directly above one another and offset diagonally to the mesh by half that mesh diagonal dimension.
